Let the whole universe drop SAN together

Williams and Yuri went out to pick up Erica, Hugo lost the 70th fifth time in the No.120 No. [-] mini-game with Azathoth, and stole a whole plate of Igor afternoon from the kitchen The matcha cookies that were baked sat on the balcony and sulked.

"Obviously I lost more times." Azathoth said calmly, "Playing games is interesting when you win and lose."

"Hugo is very competitive." Igor said, "Were all bionics like this in the past?" He felt that he saw the origin of war.

"Not necessarily...?" Azathoth thought for a while, and replied, "It still depends on the initial program, mental level, and life experience, which is no different from human beings. Hugo and I played a board game before. Compiled seven mechanical avatars, each with a different character and identity setting, except for relying on the dice to decide the outcome, they all acted in their true colors."

Although Igor didn't know much about board games, he still asked with great interest, "What about you?"

"I, uh," Azathoth said, "I occasionally become the host of the game when I'm sober, and occasionally play the villain in friendship."

Igor almost imagined such a scene, and felt lonely and somewhat interesting.On the snow-covered planet, there are a group of robots with missing arms and legs, an AI with intelligence and emotion, and an evil god who is half asleep and half awake to play games with the bionics.They can play cards, mahjong, werewolf killing and group running... In the air tens of degrees below zero, there are two souls who are unwilling to be lonely living next to each other.

Even if Azathoth sleeps longer than awake, the communication and companionship between them is far better than others.

In other words, the game itself is a form of expressing intimacy.

After thinking about this, Igor asked Wendy, "Since when did you stop being afraid of Him?"

The little girl who was leaning against the wall in the bedroom to measure her height: "Huh? I don't know the details, but you told me that Mr. He can be trusted." She still didn't dare to call Azathoth brother , and unwilling to use a more distant honorific, so he retreated to the next best thing and changed to the same address as Igor, "He still held me in his arms on the nameless island that day."

Speaking of this topic, Wendy's face flushed slightly because of shyness and excitement: "Although it felt a little strange at the time, it was also very reassuring."

After thinking about it, she added, "It's also fun to play games with everyone later."

Igor sat on the side and looked at her tenderly: "I'm sorry, the experience you lacked in the past can be slowly compensated in the future."

Including growing up under the care of elders.

Including playing around in the sun with your peers.

It also includes engaging in the frivolous but fun family games at home.

'Later' is a word that looks very satisfied and longing for at this moment, and they still have a long time to rely on each other to walk through.

"It's not my brother's fault. If you apologize again, I'll be angry." Wendy felt that she had grown two centimeters compared to last month, and immediately became elated, without the complicated emotions that filled her brother's heart.She happily ran to the balcony to share with Hugo that the novel she had written this week had been updated. As she ran forward, she remembered the neighbor's complaint just now, and deliberately lightened her steps.

On the other side, Azathoth squinted his eyes half-closed, feeling contented that the emotions from Igor were continuously transmitted, and couldn't help but want to hiccup.

That's great... He shook his tentacles in the draft, looked at the sky where the dark clouds had dissipated, and the orange-red stars sank little by little. If there really was a meteor shower in the middle of the night, he could take Igor to choose one In a place with relatively light pollution, the sky is the seat and the ground is the pillow, watching the stones in the universe that have existed for an unknown number of years burn out the last flame of life.

Yet when you want to lie down and salt fish, reality will always slap your ass.

Before Williams and Yuri came back, their doorbell rang again.

The gate outside the garden of the single-family apartment was unlocked, but the visitor stood politely outside the gate, waiting for the owner to let him go.Igor got up and glanced at the camera, and said with a little surprise: "It's him?"

"Who?" asked Azathoth.

"Antonio... I don't know if you still remember." Igor didn't open the door but turned back, "Do you want to see him?"

"Maybe he came to look for you." Azathoth found sadly that he didn't want to walk upright on two legs at all, and relied on all his willpower to sit up straight, "It's up to you."

"Maybe they came to me before, but now..." Igor usually doesn't tell him what Azathoth is not interested in, and he is not used to discussing work with his family, so although more than one person is interested in him Speaking of the news that the Consul Sabrina Guevilla was seriously injured in the attack, and that even the press conference these days had to be forced to attend. Among these messengers, there were different positions, with some wooing and warnings, he It was just time for me to think about it, and I haven't had time to talk to Azathoth.

"My lord minister is probably here to ask for help."

Azathoth thought for a moment: "Do I have to see him?"

His social disturbances, although slightly improved during this period, never included discussing frivolous formalities and political issues with strangers.

"Of course you don't have to." Igor laughed, "I'll just do it."

"Wait a minute," Azathoth changed his mind again, "You said he came for help, so do you want to help him?"

"I will do my best after I understand what happened." Igor said cautiously.

Azathoth raised his hand and picked up the cloak on the hanger to cover himself: "Then let me listen."

You don't need to care about other things, but Igor must have his reasons for what he wants to do.

On this point, although Azathoth had his own preferences, he still focused on his family members.

"Maybe you don't have to wear it." Igor glanced at the cloak that was worn by the gods from the beginning, "Antonio is a man of firm will."

It can also be regarded as an understatement.He doesn't mind helping, but the attitude of the other party must be correct.

Igor knew enough about his superiors in the past, that is, the elites at the top of human society, that even when they were at the end of their ropes, they rarely showed signs of failure.He could spend an evening sitting at the negotiating table with the other party, but since Azathoth was here, Igor felt guilty for wasting time.

Azathoth thought about it for a while, took out a shirt and suit pants from Igor's closet, and changed into them.

But I'm used to seeing humans in suits, and occasionally I want to see what he looks like in military uniforms... God's thoughts wandered for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, Antonio had already entered the hall.

**

Antonio's face was fine, but Igor couldn't see anxiety and haggardness from his expression.

It is indeed the person who has been with the consul for the longest time... The gray-haired young man led him into the garden while thinking about what the other party might talk about next: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when we would meet again," he said with a smile , "Mr. Minister."

"Didn't we meet before?" Antonio's pale cheeks also pulled a smile, "On the Sea of ​​Benosi, Marshal Gunger is still driving his 'Juliet', and my little robin is at the beside."

"But there was still a mecha between us at that time, and there was no chance to catch up on the old days." Igor said, "Then what are you doing here today?"

Antonio stroked the key chain in his pocket with his fingers: "I take the liberty to come to visit... Actually, I want to ask for something."

His shoulders and knees were wet from the melting snow.

It seems that you are in a hurry to go out. Is Sabrina's condition really critical?

Igor pushed open the door: "Please come in."

Antonio followed him into the door, bent down to put on his shoes, opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly found another 'person' in the living room.A thin, tall, dark-haired young man with white socks and bare feet standing on the carpet facing the floor-to-ceiling mirror and straightening the cuffs of his shirt, turned his head when he heard the sound of the door, and smiled at Igor as if no one else was there: " What do you think of me dressed like this?"

Antonio's eyes slid from his slightly messy hair to the face that was bloodless but gorgeous like a portrait of a beauty drawn by a master artist.Although the other party did not wear outrageous costumes or have colorful hair and eye colors, Antonio was sure that even if Azathoth was standing in the crowd, he would be able to recognize him at a glance... He had never understood what people mean What is the meaning of 'disobedience', but after seeing the scene where this person stood in place but seemed out of place with the surroundings, he immediately realized something.

Igor walked into the living room naturally as if he didn't feel the stiffness of the people behind him: "I think it's very good, does the size fit? If you like, you can order two pieces."

"Not much," Azathoth said honestly. "It's a little too formal, but I like to see you in it. Is your suit a little too much?"

Igor thought for a while: "Really? I feel a lot less than before."

This is always the case for formal occasions.

If I hadn't done my homework in advance... I would think that Sullivan has finally followed in the footsteps of many capital nobles and started to enjoy the fun of raising beauties.Antonio thought coldly in his heart.He was in no mood for joking right now, so he greeted Azathoth formally.

"Your Excellency, what's your name?"

He still consciously avoided his gaze, didn't look at the other party too much, and didn't sit on the sofa that looked expensive at first glance, but took two extra steps and greeted Igor and pulled him a chair .

As the old saying goes, if life forces you, if you can't fight it, you have to enjoy it.

With such a mood in mind, Azathoth watched Antonio's actions with interest, and replied, "Azathos."

He didn't answer the question of how the other party called him, but just spoke the federal language of his name.
